hey mate im guessing that the car your looking at is a gx! quote from the carsales ad "This 1992 Subaru Liberty Wagon which has been converted to an RS Turbo" so not an original rs but still very nice looking car! Goodluck with the car hunting mate

Welcome Kris.

That wagon looks pretty tidy indeed. 

Ill let the turbo guys answer the "what to look for" questions. Other than that just look for the usual second hand car wear and tear.

looks pretty good, but its a series 1 front end, which isnt 1993.
check the build plate, might only be a 93 engine. or its had a changed front end for some reason

hey guys

after returning home from checkin out the liberty last night i was left in dissapointment....

it was everything NOT in the photos....
huge wear and tear inside, dents and scratches all over, things missing.

Interior was the big let down - rips, stains, dents and marks EVERYWHERE... roof felt was coming off, no carpet in places...dash dents the lot!

the guy even said "yeah i used to live in K.I and i used to love thrashing it around ont he dirt tracks" I mean come one - why would you tell a potention buyer that!...

so all in all....was pretty crappy..

he was askin 10 grand for it... i said taking in consideration of all the imperfections great and small - how much are you willing to lower the price...

his answere "oh maybe 200 bucks" - - HA! forget it...

so yeah...i think the photos he had on the net were from when he bought the car....

cheers... Jenk:suicide2:

Hey and welcome to Ozliberty

things to look out for when buying an RS turbo are:

-Check if its had the tappet recall (changed to wrx heads and pistons).

-Coil packs usually fail so a Bosch upgrade is a MUST!

-The coolant header tanks crack after time as they are plastic,

-Oil leaks,  mainly power steering and air conditioning

-CV boots and shock condition.


and then the usual service history. Also check if all the doors/windows lock, seatbelts are fine, and usual instruments.

goodluck
